| KLXVER said: What? I wouldnt mind if every voice actor got plenty of work and made a great living doing what they love. Its just not reality. Its a very competitive scene. Just like if you want to be an actor, musician, author, pro athlete etc. Most people wont make a living on that alone. Thats just a very few percentage that can actually make a living doing any of those things. |
So the reason why there are unions that most voice actors join is to reduce the competitiveness (which otherwise brings the price down below subsistence levels) and makes sure voice-actors can make a bare minimum wage. They negotiated that $250 /hr (or more) as they understood the opportunity costs associated with voice acting. They don't want voice acting to be only viable as a part-time position. They have a say and should have a say in remuneration.
The post I responded to which you responded to my response of, associated remuneration and value solely with what the employers think it is. But that isn't how things are in most developed countries and it certainly isn't how most people think it should be.
The logical conclusion of associating remuneration with solely the employer's idea of value is the Gilded Age. That is what we had when that was the sole consideration.
